Welcome to the Garden

I practice Thai Chi sometimes. I learned it when in Japan. It does help one to unwind at times.

Blessings, love and light

Hello Omseeker, nice to have a new face in the garden :)

I generally do Yoga to de-stress. Have a couple of vidoes/DVDs which I do after work. I'm taking it slow too, cos now in my 40s, not a supple as I was, and I find if I'm not careful i can overstretch. But I feel so fantastic after a session. Really relaxes me.

Walking (especially in the countryside) is also a great way to wind down and forget your troubles. Nothing more lovely than being surrounded by the natural world.

My garden - couldn't survive without it - however stressed I feel, an hours worth of digging, planting, nurturing and simply hanging out there, with birds and insects amongst the flowers, soothes me totally.

Tai chi - I have a DVD. think it's probably a great way to relax, but probably better with a class, as i tend to lose concentration on my own.

Finally, if I feel very wound up, I do simple meditation. usually just concentrating on breathing in (whilst thinking the words "breathing in") and the same on the out breath ("breathing out"). Nice to do that whilst watching a candle flame. And I have a lovely recording of a Secret Garden visualisation as an alternative (tho i sometimes fall asleep then! LOL)

Blessings,
Rowan x
